It was a big night in December, Chattanooga TennesseeAll the old folks still remember that snowy Christmas EveThe way Santa saved that holiday, it's still hard to believe

Oh, the weather man was calling for the snow to keep comin' downAnd the way that it was fallin', Rudolph never saw the groundBy Christmas day, Santa's sleigh never made it to town

Then all at once they heard that mighty whistle blow (Ha ha)The ground started shaken', it even shook the mistletoeAnd then comin' 'round the mountain , right through the steam and smokePullin 16, coaches shoutin' ho ho hoWho needs a sleigh, Santa's got a Choo-choo train

Well now, he could barely hold it comin' down the hill so fastYeah that shiny locomotive made it town in no time flatBut you can't go slow with a Christmas load coming down the railroad tracks

When he pulled into the station and he finally shut her downThere was a big old celebration, everyone gathered 'roundThey passed out toys to the girls and boys from miles around

Then all at once they heard a mighty whistle blow (Ha ha)The ground started shaken', it even shook the mistletoeAnd then goin' 'round the mountain , right through the steam and smokePullin, 16 coaches shoutin' ho, ho, hoWho needs a sleigh, when Santa's got a Choo-choo train
